Twilio Essentials Unit 1: Introducing Twilio and Programmable Messaging

You can improve customer engagement across all your applications by using web-based API tools for communication. In this course, begin learning about Twilio for Programmable Messaging. The first step to using Twilio is to sign up for an individual account or free trial. Once your account is set up, take a closer look at the Twilio messaging API's use of SMS and MMS. Explore how to install the Twilio CLI, or Command Line Interface, and use it to send an SMS from your account. Then learn how to receive a text via Twilio. Dive deeper into the webhook, or reverse API, which draws you into the process at just the right time through direct notifications from Twilio. Plus, review and practice what you’ve learned in this course: sending messages, two-way messaging through webhooks, and how to make use of the Twilio documentation to enhance your existing web applications.
